Along with greetings to the community We´re back with another news update to show you more new additions for Battlegroup42. The new version of Battlegroup42 (1.6) is almost finished, the whole team is very busy testing and just like our fans we hardly can wait for this version to be released and to play it with as many of you as possible.
At this point we can tell you that a little surprise happened in the last minute, that we have integrated into the build immediately. But more of that in the next news - today we´ll concentrate on more new models and take you to the skies!
That's right, our focus for today is on planes again. We were again able to salvage some content from BGF and convert it to BG42, some of it wasn´t finished yet. Let´s start with the Russian Polikarpov I-16, a fighter plane from the 1930s with a revolutionary design. It was the world's first cantilever-winged monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear. At the beginning of the German attack on Russia the I-16 formed the backbone of the Russian fighter squadrons with almost 8000 machines. It already met its German counterparts during the Spanish Civil War in 1937 where it competed against the early Messerschmitt Bf 109 models and proved to be a worthy opponent, sometimes even superior to the 109. But in 1941 the I-16 had to fight against the improved and more powerful Bf 109-E to which it was inferior and obsolete. Nevertheless some of the I-16 pilots managed to use the enormous agility of the plane to outmanoeuvre and shoot down their opponents. Starting in 1943 it was withdrawn from front line duty and replaced by more modern fighter planes.
